Jalen Brunson, the NBA Cup MVP, continues to impress. On Sunday, he scored a season-best 47 points—a personal record at Madison Square Garden—leading the Knicks to a crucial victory over the Miami Heat. Knicks head coach Mike Brown once again advocated for Brunson to be named MVP following the game, although this strong performance was particularly necessary as Karl-Anthony Towns struggled, scoring just two points on 1-of-5 shooting.
Fan Take: Brunson’s breakout performance highlights his growing impact in the league and underscores his candidacy for MVP. For basketball fans, this signals an exciting shift where rising stars are taking center stage, potentially reshaping the sport’s competitive landscape.
